The slide is really just a big drawer. I'm quite certain the factory can just make a swap without too much trouble. For a dealership, it would be a bigger issue, but there's precious little that lives on the slide outside of a power line and a gas line, both of which the factory could disconnect, swap, and reconnect.

I almost "dropped" my slide once, so I'm convinced that there isn't a difficult mechanism holding it in place that couldn't be removed/disconnected/replaced/reconnected by factory staff.

Personally, if you're that close to the factory, that's the route I'd take, for sure.
